[Patentpractice] Microsoft Authenticator for 2FA in Patent Center?

[Masson, Roger M.]

MS Authenticator works just fine for me for the USPTO as well as 2 other logins.

Subject: [Patentpractice] Microsoft Authenticator for 2FA in Patent Center?

I’ve always used SMS for 2FA in Patent Center, but figured I should add an authenticator app, too.  Since I have MS Authenticator on my phone for Microsoft 365, I figured I’d use that.

But when I try to authenticate it, I get “There was an error with the system, please try again later.”

Has anyone had this issue, and/or is anyone successfully using MS Authenticator?

Before I call the EFS Help Desk, I want to make sure that it’s not an issue similar to the address book in Assignment Center, which just doesn’t work, full stop.
